Glamour celebrates its 10th anniversary in Madrid

Last night Glamour Spain celebrated the 10th anniversary of the magazine with a garden party at the Italian Embassy in Madrid. But, of course, the night wouldn't have been complete without some awards being given. Eugenia Silva, Judit Mascó, Laura Ponte, Martina Klein, Vanessa Lorenzo and Verónica Blume were named 'Muses of Spanish Fashion'. And very rightly so, when Spanish fashion was still a baby they were already walking in Paris and Milan.
Giles Deacon was awarded 'Design Icon', Poppy Delevigne named as 'Trend Icon', Jason Lewis as 'Masculine Icon', and supermodel Lily Donaldson won the 'Beauty Muse' award.
I was quite impressed with a few of the guests but these on the right are my favourites. Poppy Delevingne would look like a goddess in a tracksuit, so this Julien McDonald dress she wore last night blew my mind. I hate being unfaithful to Poppy but Eugenia Silva rocked my world in her ultra sexy Nicolas Vaudelet. The insane side-slit and embroidered top were as daring as they were chic. Martina Klein went for a red Lanvin number. I loved how she went for a lot of skin at the bottom and a lot of volume on top. Nieves Álvarez probably didn't try very hard but when you're so elegant and you're wearing Giambattista Valli Couture you don't have to.

Take a look at the video below to see highlights from the evening (in Spanish and English) and click here to see all the pictures from the photocall.

Best Dressed of the Weekend: Kiernan Shipka wears Miu Miu

Penélope Cruz seems to be looking better now than she did before having a child and I'm glad she's showing it off. I love the wet hair look, which adds a beachy feel to her stunning Michael Kors dress. The accessories were neutral but added to the chicness, especially the Roger Vivier clutch.
Kiernan Shipka is quite simply the most stylish 12 year old in the world. I love seeing young stars enjoying dressing up but being aware that there's always plenty of time to experiment when you're old enough. Her Miu Miu dress with floral macramè embroidery was as fashion-forward as she can get.
Lady Gaga, who has been a bit off the radar lately and wearing slightly toned down looks (by her standards) stepped out in a great gown from the Atelier Versace collection – not one of my favourites but pretty amazing and even conservative for her.
And, of course, Emma Stone. I have a feeling I am going to be posting quite a bit about her over the next few weeks. For the Moscow stop of her Spiderman press tour she wore a floral Lanvin dress. I love the black strokes over it that make it look like an unfinished painting. The only flaw was her slightly odd eye shadow.

Best Dressed of the Weekend: Red, peplums & The Olsens
JustJared

It's always a good weekend when the Olsens are out in the open. This time they attended the Fresh Air Funds Salute to American Heroes in New York. They went for a kind of Ying and Yang look – Ashley in a ivory The Row dress with the ruffled detail at the front and Mary-Kate, also in The Row, in a black combo of silk shirt and skirt. I loved MK's (Fendi?)shoes and her choice of croc The Row bag.

Charlize Theron is currently on her press tour promoting Snow White and the Huntsman and Prometheus, which has turned out to be quite a treat. She's been choosing all the right dresses for the red carpet – especially her Dior in London – but also for travelling – here another of my favourites. Her latest hit, by Lanvin, was only last night at the MTV Movie Awards in LA. I loved the simple strapless red with the season's super trendy peplum.

I'm not sure anyone in the world hasn't heard about the Queen's Jubilee. I must admit I missed much of it but was happy to see that Kate Middleton – should I call her Duchess of Cambridge? – went not only for red, which was compulsory, but for McQueen again. The combination of the pleats in the skirt and the flat top was super chic and I liked the fact that, if very subtle, there was also some peplum action going on here.

Best Dressed of the Weekend: Tout le monde est à Paris
Style.com, Getty, JustJared

This weekend has been quite slow in terms of celebrity spottings even though everyone is in Paris for fashion week. However, it's been a great weekend in terms of shows –  Givenchy, Kenzo, Lanvin, Loewe... – so we can't complain.

Tilda Swinton made an appearance at the Lanvin show dressed in a super chic, though not entirely new, boozy red dress from the house. I did love the python sandals and Tilda is always a refreshing touch on the front row, non?

Shala Monroque and Dasha Zhukova probably wouldn't have made it to the BDOTW separately but together they're impossible to resist. I am not usually keen on an all-white looks unless it's summer but the rule says you don't wear white after Labour Day, right? So they should enjoy it while it lasts.

Kristen Stewart has probably been my favourite FROW star from Paris so far (as the Olsens haven't been come for a while). She is so laid-back and cool sometimes it doesn't look like she'd care about designers but here she is strolling around Paris in her Balenciaga biker jacker and Stella McCartney's 'Falabella' faux-python bag.

The surprise of the weekend was Katie Perry looking this slick and chic also in Paris. If only it wasn't a one-off...

Gossip Girl Fashion: 'G.G.' – The 100th Episode
DavidsBridal.com, ShopChicks.com, TheBeautyBridal.com

This week's episode of Gossip Girl was a special one not only because the one and only Blair Waldorf is finally getting married but also because the show celebrated its 100th episode. It's kind of crazy to think we've been watching for 5 years now!

I can honestly say this episode is anything but disappointing, which is refreshing after the last couple of episodes. Fashion-wise it was interesting to say the least as bridal attire can go either way just by adding a bow or a lace sleeve. I loved Blair's Vera Wang dress even though I expected something slightly more... grand. I missed the original lace top and I would have gone for a more classic hair style, perhaps done up rather than wavy and down –that wasn't very Blair.

As it often happens, Serena looked better than her BFF. Also in Vera Wang Bridal, S looked really stunning in pale pink. I loved the detail of the bustier covered with chiffon and tied at the shoulder. The sort of beehive hair was also perfect, a tad Chanel, no?

Otherwise, everyone looked great at the wedding, even the 'cupcake trio' (see below) who looked a bit like upside down roses also in Vera Wang –she got a pretty sweet advertorial deal, right?

Even with plenty of drama and a wedding going on I would say the highlight of the episode was the beginning. There is nothing I love more than a classic GG moment of a character's dream. This time Serena dreams up the iconic Marilyn moment singing about her sparkly best friends. This soon turns into some sort of surreal yet brilliant face-off with Audrey Hepburn (Blair) who fights her to get Dan. The funniest bit is looking at the boy's faces –Nate and Chuck really crack up at some point and Dan looks totally into it.

Random as this moment was I can't think of two glamourous and iconic characters that go so well with the characters' personalities. Maybe they should do a special episode of everyone in costume? A sort of Gossip Girl version of 'Midnight in Paris'? I would LOVE that!

Best Dressed at the 2012 SAG Awards
JustJared

Since I missed my opportunity to post about the best Golden Globe looks a few weeks ago I thought I'd post about the Screen Actors Guild Awards that took place last night in Los Angeles. I have to say that so far award season has been really great in terms of red carpet, people are really trying their best! I don't think I've seen anyone particularly badly dressed at the SAG awards this year, which is a relieve but makes the process of choosing the best dressed a tad harder.
My absolute favourite was Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Couture. First of all, kudos for wearing something that was only shown in Paris about a week ago and, secondly, for rocking it on the red carpet. After Zoe's unforgettable Givenchy Couture moment at the 2010 Oscars you understand why she would go for one of Tisci's creations again. Not that anyone needs an excuse...
Julianna Margulies, from 'The Good Wife', is right after Zoe. Her Calvin Klein Collection dress was exquisitely simple and super chic. She is a very elegant woman both in an out of the show, there is something very old Hollywood glamour about her that I love. I really do hope she might go for an Armani Privé soon...
Tilda Swinton looked very much like she'd just come down from the Olympus in an off-white Lanvin dress. It was refreshing to see her in something other than Haider Ackermann, whose work I love but it was starting to look like Tilda was doing a life advertorial. And I love the hair!
How Natalie Portman has gone back to looking like that after giving birth totally escapes me, she looks ravishing. Her Giambattista Valli gown is one of the best things she's worn in a while. The boozy red hue really suits her and I love how unfussy the skirt is and how all the details are on the top.
Viola Davis was a great surprise. We haven't seen much of her until now apart from premiere looks but after this Marchesa moment I am looking forward to the Oscars. Everything is absolutely perfect about her look and I am loving the Maryling-esque hairstyle. Who would've thought someone could look this good in Marchesa?

This year's VMAs red carpet has been a little on the low side in terms of fashion –these are my favourite looks.

Beyoncé's pregnancy announcement has kind of overshadowed the show itself, which us UK residents will be able to watch on MTV from 8pm. Queen B looked incredibly beautiful in an asymmetric Lanvin dress. I loved how the hair was perfect for it and her huge emerald bracelet cuff was the best way to finish up the look. She later performed in a Dolce & Gabbana tux, also looking stunning!

Katie Holmes, who has been out of best dressed lists for a while, is my second best dressed. It's no secret that an Alaïa dress is the most effortless way of looking sexy and chic. I really liked Katie's hair and I actually thought her shoe choice made the look very interesting!

Zoe Saldana wasn't at her best last night but she still looked better than most attendees in her Barbara Bui dress. I loved that she paired it up with snakeskin wedges. It was a simple and chic summery look.

Britney, who was paid tribute last night, also looked amazing on her own way. She wore a Moschino romper/playsuit with a zig-zag sequin pattern layered with chiffon. It was really mini and pretty see-through, so still quite Britney but more demure than what we're used to. Never mind the shoes!

From right: Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Aquilano Rimondi and Lanvin F/W 2011
Style.com

I first realised this was a mini-trend a couple of weeks ago while watching Project Runway. Nina Garcia was wearing this stunning Lanvin black mini dress from the FW11 collection and it struck me how incredible the big brooch at the front was. I also noticed that Nina wasn't wearing any other accessories (apart from shoes, haha).

I remembered a lot of embellished tops at the FW11 Ralph Lauren collection –one of my favourites in years. And so I looked at a few of the collections to find how other designers had approached this 'bejewelled dress' trend.
My first instinct was to revisit Ralph and Lanvin, where I found a handful of other options, all of which included some sort of intricate detail at the top front of the dress. Probably the chicest option. Then I headed to Chanel because, well, Karl tends to do this a lot. For FW11 he included the jewellery pieces in the geometric forms of the top of his dresses, which were somewhat Byzantine.
I found a different take from Aquilano Rimondi, who has instead used his jewel detailing around hemlines and the seams. A very Italian point of view, which makes me think instantly of those infamous Valentino heels.

As you know, I am a big fan of less celebrated international editions of Vogue.
Vogue España has been doing a great job on their covers during the last few months and they've outdone themselves for the August issue! I would have never seen coming a Katie Holmes cover.
I love the fact that they've put her into a lacy dominatrix outfit. She looks like a female version of Peter Marino.
There isn't much of a summer feel to the cover but just like I said with the Vogue Paris one, it somewhat works because the August issue works as an introduction to September, so the line between the s/s and the f/w season is pretty blurry.
This is also Katie's first Vogue cover ever! She's done ELLE, Marie Claire, Another and Glamour and the past but this is a first. I know it's not Anna's or Emmanuelle's cover so it's not as internationally relevant but I love the fact that Vogue España is daring and trying new things. We have seen Kate Moss and SJP on too many covers...

What do you think?

[Style.com]

Okay, this is starting to seem like I am obsessed with finding similarities between the Cruise collections currently coming out and past creations from other designers.

The fact is that, apart from the golden brooch trend we've seen at McCartney and Gucci, not much feels fresh in some of the resort lines from the most acclaimed designers. I quite liked Stella's creations because they're fun and easy to sell but who can deny very obvious resemblance with Prada's overexposed stripes from ss11, Miuccia's surprising palm tree prints from ss10 (Wintour approved), or with Maison Martin Margiela's photographic prints? I know a beach and a palm tree are not something anyone can trademark for themselves but if someone like Prada or MMM has done it before what are the chances of doing it better?

Two other lookalikes, while more isolated, are Lanvin's take on khaki tweed and Pringle's graphic print draped dresses. The first we saw at Chanel for PreFall11 both on the catwalk and on Baptiste and Freja in magazines. And the second back in fw10 at one of Peter Pilotto's most memorable runway shows.

What do you make of all of this?

I have mentioned a couple of times in the past about how big a fan I am of the so called 'airport chic' style. There is something about dressing up or down or wearing odd clothes combinations that simply fascinates me. I have a lot of fun doing it myself and I even go as far as buying things I will only wear to fly (i.e. my Lanvin x H&M merino wool bottoms). I also keep a good folder of celebrity airport look pictures. My absolute favourites are Charlize Theron, who always looks so effortlessly stylish, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who will literally wear everything and anything paired with anything from a furry puppy to a vintage Kelly bag. I'm also quite keen on some of Victoria Beckham's and Rachel Bilson's looks as long as they're not too dramatic. And it's because of this that I'm fascinated with Lily Allen's latest look. She was recently seen at LAX carrying a Pegase 65 Louis Vuitton suitcase with the initials L.R.C. and one of Prada's Mexican delirium totes from this season. So I obviously went looking for my favourite travelling bags on line right away and this is the result.

Collage Sunday, 06.03.11: Parisian delights

It was so hard to choose only one or two designers to make my Sunday collage about that I chose four instead. They are some of my favourite collections of the weekend so far. Alber Elbaz did it again. I am forever in awe of his skill and imagination at Lanvin (please don't take him away to Dior!). I obviously loved his wide-brimmed hats (where you could have friends over for tea) and the beautiful shoes buckled at the ankle. Cacharel was a pleasant surprise. Cédric Charlier used colours (or lack there of) with prints to express a very modern and chic point of view. I loved the simplicity of the cuts and the layering as well. I hope Giovanna Battaglia gives this a try. I absolutely loved Sonia Rykiel's collection this season. her combination of checks, winter motifs, quilting and dyed hair was quirky but also rather Parisian. I particularly liked the tartan throw-ons and patchwork blazers. And finally, Junya Watanabe. He does extraordinarily well wherever he goes. I am dying over his fw11 light and asymmetrical knits and those slightly cowboy-ish Chelsea boots.

Clockwise from left: Lanvin, Cacharel, Junya Watanabe, Sonia Rykiel.

Leighton covers L'Officiel

This is exactly the kind of magazine covers Leighton Meester should be doing. Editors of Vogue, ELLE et al., should be kicking themselves in the head for not coming up with such a concept first. The fact is that the Lithuanian version of L'Officiel is one of the best covers I've seen as of late. They have kept it clean and the bright tangerine of the title and the grey of the background are as bang-on trend as Leighton herself. She somehow reminds me of a modern Frida Kahlo (sans unibrow, that's so 1900's) and I love how a stylist has finally combined one of the Jil Sander maxi skirts with something other than a crisp white shirt. I think the skirt goes great with the tight Lanvin top and I absolutely love the bangles. I am going on a London hunt of this issue!

Oscars 2011: Less is more

I am rather disappointed with this year's Oscar red carpet looks. I was surprised not only not to find Angelina, Charlize Theron and Diane Kruger amongst the guests but also to see Natalie Portman and Gwyneth Paltrow in very bland dresses. Luckily, one can always count on Cate Blanchett to save the night. She was unarguably the best dressed at the Oscars in an incredible lilac and neon yellow beaded Haute Couture dress fresh of the Givenchy SS11 runway. She always makes such edgy choices that she wears with incredible taste. Number two on my ranking is very unexpected even for myself. Amy Adams chose the right shape of dress with a sexy back slit and covered neckline all covered in L'Wren Scott navy sequins. The choice of colour was perfect for her skin tone (for once) as were the jade, diamond and emerald jewels.

Third on the list is Mila Kunis, who had been building up to this moment. She saved this stunning lilac and nude lace Elie Saab number, which was made grand and occasion-appropriate by the glamourous hair-do and the smoky eyes. I loved everything about her and was happy to see her having such a great moment. And lastly, one of my favourite girls. Michelle Williams has been having some up and downs over the last few months but she made it clear that the only thing a girl needs is some Chanel Haute Couture. I loved how they turned the original dress into a body-con beaded masterpiece and how she relied on a good haircut and light make up.

On a different note, I need to point out Anne Hathaway's style throughout the show. For the red carpet she wore a red Valentino from 2002, when Garavani was still in charge, and even though she looked stunning there was something not quite right, which is why she wasn't on my best dressed list. However, there were two looks she wore during the Oscars that did out her here. The first was a Lanvin tuxedo, which she wore with a ponytail and Ryan Atwood sparkly pumps. And the second was an Amarni Privé number from the Haute Couture SS11 collection. Giulia and I were thrilled she wore it as we had predicted she'd wear it a few weeks before. Who was your favourite?

I'm off.

Golden Globes 2011 Apendix

I promised I'd be back with more. This second post has a bit of really good fashion and another bit of quite horrific catastrophes. But let's start with the good. Annette Bening has been the first celebrity (to my knowledge) to wear Tom Ford to an event. I don't understand why no one is talking about this and why it was so hard to find a good picture of a beautiful and elegant woman only because she's older. She absolutely rocked the velvet-dotted sheer dress and I loved the crazy messy hair and the geek-chic glasses. I was also glad she wore Tom because that meant Julianne (in a Lanvin I'm not too keen on) wouldn't, which can only mean she is wearing Tom to the Oscar's. Hurrah! Angelina knows green is her ally. It really compliments her hair and it brings out her eyes. Her Atelier Versace was a stunning piece of understated glamour, which, sadly, wasn't matched by the hair. She was going for a natural effortless kind of look and I would have almost bought it if I hadn't seen her putting lip gloss on all through the show. And lastly, a woman who I should have put as number one because not only she is incredibly attractive but she also makes a bold choice after the other. Tilda Swinton slipped into one of Jil Sander's SS11 quasi-Couture numbers and she literally got me off my seat.

Before I start on the bad I want you to notice how I have included among them a face whose style I usually praise. I have because, sadly, it's where she belongs this time but also to prove that I am an objective person. Michelle Williams chose Valentino (yet again) but she was wrong —it's not a safe choice ever since Garavani stopped signing sketches. The fabric of her Pre-Fall 2011 dress would make beautiful pillows for your back yard's furniture but as a dress it makes Spring feel like in the middle of December. Christina Aguilera in Zuhair Murad. She's halfway in (or out) of it and the nude lining did not help. She should know a woman must cover her shoulders when she's got more than a fold between her arm and her, ahem, bust. I will use this over and over again (because I think it's witty). It was grotesque. And then we have JLo from the seas channeling some Ariel in another Zuhair Murad (go figure). Her invite said fancy dress so she called Mariah Carey for advice and opted for a glittery take on a jellyfish costume accompanied by some very original eye make up, which I can only describe as silver-incrusted sleep.

I'm off.

H&M x Lanvin: My picks

As promised, here are my picks from the Lanvin collection for H&M. After queuing for hours in the cold Iñaki and I finally got in and we had a strategy so I didn't miss out on anything. We split the area in two and each of us would grab what I wanted in my size. I was annoyed not to be able to get the amazing fuchsia one-shoulder dress in any size below 14 but between the two of us we managed to take to the fitting room most of what I wanted. The bad news is some of the dresses with the ruffles and the tutu skirts were a bit too puffy and unflattering. So I ended up choosing the black dress with the embroidered neckline, which is to die for and I can't wait to wear on Friday night! I also got one of Lanvin's signature tees. I, of course, went for the one that was the most fun; I especially love the chiffon detailing! The accessories were a bit on the the disappointing side. The shoes were too low for my taste and the bags a bit too glitzy and cheap-looking. But I loved the kind of arty earrings, I simply can't wait to wear them! What did everyone get?

The coolest shopper, duh!

Giulia and I rose (too) early this morning to head down to H&M's flagship store on Regent Street and try to get a head start at the Lanvin x H&M collection launch. We queued for about two hours, enjoyed a Starbucks and built up the excitement as our body temperature dropped. It was at some point then, after the sun had come out, that Vogue.com spotted Giulia's warm, chic and easy look to endure the wait. What did they expect from soVIPzone, tracksuit bottoms and fleece?! (Stay tuned for our post on Giulia's buys).

I'm off.

Too much for your credit card

We're merely days away from the world premiere (for mortals) of the Lanvin x H&M collection but having our harts pounding with the doubt of whether we'll be able to get our favourite pieces in our size is not enough. Alber Elbaz has customised the H&M looks and turned them into a mini couture collection. The line, which was shown in New York last night, is being auctioned online until November 26th to donate all its proceeds to UNICEF's "All for Children" project in partnership with H&M.

Our beloved Queen of fashion, Anna dello Russo was, of course, amongst the personalities who walked the runway at the New York show, for which she donned Alber Elbaz's couture look number 9 (currenly at a $189 bid). Pixie Geldof (yuk!) and Dree Hemingway joined Anna and the rest of the models in showcasing the rest of the collection.
I absolutely loved AdR's pink number (including the clashing red heels) as well as the Miss Lanvin look, the two classic black dresses and the cocktail bride one. I'd gladly marry anyone wearing that. Just as easily as any woman who wears the incredible crystal-studded sunglasses or the leopard tights. I can't even begin to imagine what H&M is going to be like on the 23rd with every woman in the world willing to do anything to get the dress(es) she wants. Even the paper bags our purchases will come in are a must-have!

Lanvin x H&M: What we'll get

This week we got to finally see the entire collection that Alber Elbaz has designed for H&M in the name of Lanvin. I tend to be a little sceptical when it comes to designer collaborations because, in the past, they have been rather disappointing. So I was scared of how much they were building up the Lanvin line. Until I saw it, that is. I think the clothes look incredible and the range and quantity of pieces are spectacular. I believe it is unprecedented to create something so close to an actual full collection for a high street shop. I hope other designers learn from Elbaz for future collaborations. [Don't miss the video]

You might remember that a couple of weeks ago I posted about my predictions and wishes for the pieces we'd definitely see and those I'd love to see. I was right about Alber creating a number of separates. But I thought that'd only refer to tailored pieces. However, the line goes beyond and offers a range of Lanvin's signature embroidered t-shirts, sculptured skirts, blazers and even a faux-fur coat!
I had my doubts about the jewellery and, alas, those have been confirmed. It looks quite cheep and uninspired. But it is a hard task to make jewellery on a budget as it's quality depends as much on the materials as it does on the design. The bags, however, are a great surprise. I think they're perfect for night, specially if you want to add a dash of colour.

The shoes are a bit of a hit and miss. My favourite ones are the leopard pair with the bejewelled heel and the ankle ribbon because, despite the detailing, they look effortless and chic. I'm unsure about the other pairs. The red pumps are okay but cheap patent leather never looks good, never. My issues with the other two pairs are the unfinished effect on the trimming of the bows rather than the shoes themselves. I guess some people will like that but I am more into polished.
I was also hoping for some of Lanvin's bright hues and drapy pieces. There isn't much drapery in the collection, which is substituted by ruffles in different sizes and layers. I think that's a clever, cheaper option and it definitely works. There's pinks, oranges, reds, yellows and bright prints in the shape of one-shoulder and strapless dresses that will work for different occasions.

And last, black, of course. This was my safest bet as we had seen some of it on the first images already. I like the fact that they're a bit more restrained but they retain that femme fatale vibe to them. My favourite is the not-black-but-blue short number with the vertical ruffles. It's simple and elegant but there's an element of sexy drama to it that I absolutely love. As I loved the sunglasses that Elbaz has created both for men an women of which I must have a pair!

Which pieces are you dying to have?
I'm off.

Lanvin x H&M: What we'll see and what we want

Giulia and I were quite excited last night when we read that Vogue.com was giving us a first look at Lanvin's collaboration with H&M that comes out on November 23rd. As exciting as this beautiful picture (shot by David Sims) can be, the truth is we haven't found out any more than we al ready knew. The line will include lots of black and, at least, one of Lanvin's famous one-shoulder dresses.

At soVIPzone we have looked back at some of Alber Elbaz's most popular collections to try and figure out what is it that we will see based on Lanvin's past hits and the released picture. But we have also tried to guess which unreleased pieces will be filling H&M rails in a few weeks.


And we couldn't forget jewellery, of course. The picture released today makes it evident that we will see pearl necklaces and bracelets with bulky emerald green and pale pink flowers attached to them. But we wonder whether some of Lanvin's chunkier pieces and their famous ribbon necklaces will also make an appearance. That would make a round collection.

I'm off.
